A quick definition of harbinger:

A harbinger is a person or thing that tells us what is going to happen in the future. In the past, in England, a harbinger was a special officer who made sure that the king's soldiers or traveling group had a place to stay. Nowadays, we use the word to describe something that gives us a warning or a sign of what's to come, whether it's good or bad news.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A harbinger is a person or thing that predicts or foreshadows what is to come.

For example, a sudden drop in the stock market can be a harbinger of an economic recession. Similarly, a dark cloud in the sky can be a harbinger of an impending storm.

The term "harbinger" can also refer to a historical role in England. A harbinger was a royal officer who went ahead of a traveling royal entourage to secure lodging for troops or the entourage.

The examples illustrate how a harbinger can be a warning or indication of something to come. Just as a harbinger in the sky or stock market can predict future events, the historical role of a harbinger in England was responsible for preparing for the arrival of a royal entourage.

You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

TiredOfThisGrandpa

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.

For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

NemoPropheta

16:58

late march is way too late

early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters
